Not only did residents create the cutest artwork, but they were also asked to include what they were grateful for too. In this way, everyone was able to interact with one another and share their positivity while staying safe. ![](https://blog.merrillgardens.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/2_djqmmc.jpg)![](https://blog.merrillgardens.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/4_mqnxya.jpg) ![](https://blog.merrillgardens.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/5_i22a6d.jpg) We can't even begin to describe how important it is to share love and support for one another as often as we can. Thank you to all of our team members and everyone that continues to go above-and-beyond for the people around them. --- #### Tag: #### Share: - [Follow us on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.merrillgardens.com/we-are-grateful) - [Follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://blog.merrillgardens.com/we-are-grateful&text=We%20Are%20Grateful) - [Follow us on Linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.merrillgardens.com/we-are-grateful) - [Follow us on Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://blog.merrillgardens.com/we-are-grateful&text=We%20Are%20Gratefuldescription=It%20is%20becoming%20increasingly%20important%20to%20find%20ways%20to%20come%20together.&media=https://5001117.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5001117/Imported_Blog_Media/3_1_msa8oi.jpg) --- ##### [More posts](https://blog.merrillgardens.com/) ### Leave a Comment Below --- ![W3C](https://blog.merrillgardens.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MerrillGardens_January2024/images/wcag2.1AA-blue-v_jaqpmq.png?width=368&name=wcag2.1AA-blue-v_jaqpmq.png "W3C") ###### Merrill Gardens [1938 Fairview Avenue E #300 Seattle, WA 98102](https://www.merrillgardens.com/communities) [206-676-5300](tel:206-676-5300) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.merrillgardens.com/privacy-policy) - [Accessibility and Non Discrimination](https://www.merrillgardens.com/accessibility-statement) - [Do Not Share My Personal Information/Limit the Use or Disclosure of My Sensitive Personal Information](https://conversionlogix.com/ccpa-opt-out/) Copyright © 2026 Merrill Gardens [Equal Opportunity Housing](https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp)
